If you’ve grown tired of Tex-Mex, there’s a solution on Lower Greenville Avenue. Amidst the auto shops and gas stations at the intersection with Henderson Avenue, Palapas Seafood Bar sits in a nifty-looking hut with thatch-roofed patios. Do your best to sit outside. The scenery isn’t the best but the vibe is. Music softly plays […]
There has to be a reason to brave these lines–even on a particularly crummy Saturday afternoon–and it’s the fajita plates, big enough to choke a Chihuahua. Beef fajitas, perfectly tender (not tenderized) and abundantly spiced, are the best we’ve tried in Dallas. Another standout is the chicken fajitas and quail (served together), the latter of […]
The folks at the Dallas Observer are relieved and grateful that our favorite Deep Ellum lunch spot has reopened in bigger, sweeter digs a few blocks east of the old location on Elm Street. We come here for the cheerful service and excellent lunch specials, including Pescado Vera Cruz, a lightly breaded catfish fillet served […]

When you do pull over, you’ll discover Raul’s Corral, a Tex-Mex restaurant that also claims to serve steaks. That giant longhorn out front isn’t actually in the Raul’s parking lot. It stands in front of the ghost town next door. It looks like something straight out of an old Six Flags. Walking inside Raul’s is […]
Earlier this year, owner and chef Gino Rojas told us that when he opened Revolver Gastro Cantina in Deep Ellum he wanted a place where you can take your family during the day for tacos and go back and get “fucked up on margaritas at night.” As he sees it, a proper cantina serves that […]
After the pandemic hit, chef and owner Regino Rojas completely rebuilt the dining room here, walling it off from the kitchen and replacing the huge communal dining space with four small, distanced tables. The old Purepecha tasting has been replaced by La Resistencia, a reservations-only dinner for half the old cost that focuses on spectacular […]
The West End is packed with tourist-trapping restaurants; this isn’t one of them. Executive chef Ronald Von Hatten’s menu focuses on tweaked regional Mexican food, including gordita and queso fundido appetizers, with a little Tex-Mex (e.g., chimichangas and fajitas) thrown in to appease the natives. Make no mistake, however, the latter truly is lip service. […]

Tucked away in the hustle and bustle of Preston Center, this Taco Diner location offers what might be the best service and food of all the Taco Diners in the metroplex. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and helpful with questions about the menu, and service is quick and attentive. The food doesn’t disappoint either-the guacamole is […]
With a name including the word “diner,” patrons would ostensibly imagine a greasy spoon famous for tacos. That ain’t the case. Taco Diner’s interior is sleek and modern. Light wood, purple-and-white color scheme, tile bar wall and subdued evening lighting are on par with corporate owner MCrowd Restaurant Group’s original concept – the cuisine of […]

Few Dallas-area restaurants are making cheffy, inspired twists on classic foods in the lowest price bracket. Tacos Mariachi, with its brilliant riffs on seafood tacos, is one of them. Where else in Dallas can you find a smoked salmon taco, the fish folded into a griddle-melted blanket of cheese? Other offerings showcase octopus and shrimp, […]
